Especially since 365 is a really stupid part of the name. What is with Microsoft and 360 numbers?

A lot of the other hypotheticals make more sense to me than this one. The raccoon is dying already, you just need to avoid it. A gun isn’t even the most effective tool for this problem, it’s a small moving target. Trap it.

I love to cook, but I have yet to find a better calorie per dollar ratio than a Costco hotdog with drink.

A restroom for girls with penises.

Bird is slang for girl, Bee = B for Boy

Yeah, that’s basically what I was trying to imagine. It’s absolutely not what contemporary AI is, but it’s closer to how I think the technology should be used.

I mean they mostly used it for textures, right? Those are often generated from a combination of noise and photography, it’s not like they were building the game out of lego bricks of other people’s art.

I don’t see how it’s significantly different than sampling in music, it’s just some background detail to enhance the message of the art.

Obviously modern AI is a nightmare machine that cannot be justified, but I could imagine valid artistic uses for the hypothetical AI you described.

Thanks, that’s illuminating.

Do you feel the same way about zombies?

You’re really good at giving people compliments. Keep it up!

Maybe one dress with three differently colored stripes, then you could filter it so each image only showed one pattern and erased the other two.

I think the biggest difference is the cut of the dress.

Jinx confirmed

If being transformative was the only test copyright would be pretty toothless, you could use any copyrighted characters you want as long as you told a new story.

Non-profit, educational, research, criticism, or news reporting; those are the categories that transformative use applies most to. Though for highly creative works (like an original character e.g. Franklin) even those categories are restricted.

The biggest test though is negative market factor. If the publisher can demonstrate it could damage their brand that is enough. Frankly this seems pretty obvious in this case, who wants to read about a fascist turtle?

Fair use does not cover political messaging.

How is this not blatant copyright crime? I don’t understand how these guys keep getting away with using copyrighted images and music with zero consequences.

I assume they’re referring to the NSO emulators, that thing where you need to pay monthly to access the retro games.

Vibe Casting is right there

Because it kills the resonance and shrinks the sound. She explains the reasons with examples and everything.

Flowers need water to grow, so if one side is dry and the other has water it would make sense for flowers to only grow on the wet side, right?
